`Patent 8,218,481 B2
`
`
`On December 6, 2016, the Board held an initial conference call with
`
`the parties, represented by their respective counsel.
`
`The parties indicated that neither party presently intended to ask for
`
`modification of the schedule set forth in the Scheduling Order (Paper 11).
`
`The parties did, however, indicate that they may in the future seek
`
`modification of the present schedule.
`
`The parties indicated that neither party presently intended to request
`
`authorization to file any motions. Patent Owner indicated that it did not
`
`presently intend to file a motion to amend the claims of the patent.
`
`Upon inquiry by the Board, the parties indicated that neither party
`
`presently intended to request that oral hearing (if requested) be held at a
`
`different location than that set forth in the Scheduling Order (Paper 11 at 4),
`
`namely, the San Jose, California, USPTO Regional Office.
`
`Upon inquiry by the Board, the parties provided information
`
`concerning the status of related matters including the District Court litigation
`
`and inter partes reviews (IPRs) involving the parties and the patent. The
`
`parties represented there are presently 18 IPRs which have been filed that
`
`involve Patent Owner and other parties from the related District Court
`
`litigations and relate to patents asserted in those litigations. The parties also
`
`discussed the pending Motion for Joinder or Consolidation filed on
`
`December 5, 2016, in IPR2016-01349 (Paper 8) in which joinder or
`
`consolidation with this proceeding is requested. The parties also reported on
`
`settlement status.
`
`Upon inquiry by the Board, the parties indicated there were no
`
`additional matters which they wished to discuss.
